[§269] The Spirit of Cain Is the Head of the Beast

Revelation 16:13 refers to the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet in a single verse. The Dragon is a symbol for the unembodied spirit of Satan who stands at the head of all other unembodied spirit sons of perdition who rebelled with him during the Grand Council in heaven. The Beast and the False Prophet are similar symbols. This podcast explains that the Beast is a symbol for the disembodied spirit of Cain, who became perdition when he murdered his brother Abel. At that time, Satan promised to give Cain his power and authority in Moses 5:30. This promise was fulfilled when Cain became Master Mahan during his mortal life. When Cain died, his disembodied spirit also became the head of Satan’s kingdom in spirit prison of the postmortal spirit world. After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Cain passed back through the veil of death to become the spiritual head of the Beast on earth as of 70 AD in Revelation 13. As Jesus Christ and righteous resurrected people passed back through the veil between the living and the dead, so also Cain and his disembodied spirit followers were able to do the same. In this way there was an opposition in all these things. According to Revelation 13:2, Satan (the Dragon) then gave Cain (the Beast) “his power, and his seat, and great authority.” Cain’s power on earth as the spiritual head of the Beast will continue until the Seventh Vial Plague of the Third Woe, when the disembodied spirit of Cain shall be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone during Spiritual Armageddon. (Rev 19:20)
